    How does the make it non free from corporate influence. The hate boner towards discord is getting ridiculous sometimes. Yeah it sucks to use a repo thats not googleable and not open source bur discord is an objectively better user experience than matrix

      How does the make it non free from corporate influence.

      Do they require Discord and depend on it? Yes.
      Is Discord corporate? Yes.
      Are they then still free from corporate influence? Nope. H Simply put, if Discord suddenly implemented weird rules the Ladybird devs would have to comply with, they’d simply have to follow suit or break their main communication channel.

        And of course something will likely happen like that. They couldn’t help themselves, so it’s inevitable.
